okay overated maybe to strong , he is a good horse,but i think bb stepping up to a grade 1 race was a major jump for him and maybe a little more then he can handle yet . and comparing bb not firing when he is on dirt his surface of choice to drift in the woodford reserve on turf which we all know he has problems with and not his surface ,he runs on only to ease him back into the new racing season is not the same at all

I couldn't believe BB ran a -4 on Thorograph in Arkansas, it was their race of the week put up for free, so I 'll quote it. That is a serious number, if they can shake that race out of him and get him going again, he will make some noise....
